Well, I hate Fords, always have. But the 67 68 Fastback Mustang is one of the prettiest cars ever built. I want one.
The Pantera and Cobra are also way up there on the Cool car list.
Currently the only Ford I own is a Fusion with the turbo charged 4 cyl. now at 70K it has been a really nice car but I still hate Fords.

Have had many Fords over the years. Have had a 56 for the past 35 years.

My new '56 Ford Victoria I got after hurricane Florence destroyed my previous '56.

Also have a '51 Dodge pickup that I recently acquired; always wanted a '50's Ford or Dodge truck, finally got one.

Here is my '51 Dodge pickup, w/'53 rear fenders.

No old Ford's here, my Vette shares the stable with a couple of pre war Mopars.

I had a '63 Falcon Futura for many years. I recognized your dash immediately. I really liked that car. Yours looks great.

Many Thanks it drives so good with Radials. I can’t imagine any old car on bias ply tires.

One of the best designs Ford ever made IMO!
And this one is in the right color combo too.

Love seeing threads like this. It shows that you're not just Corvette FanBoys. You're true automotive enthusiasts, who can appreciate a vehicle regardless of brand loyalty(an over rated concept)

Love the GT, always thought the 05-06 was much better looking than the current GT.
Now the Escort is really cool. anymore details on it? what's the powertrain? do you live in the UK? If you're in the U.S., what did it take to get it over here?
